Galleries: Wood carvings

Wood is such a seductive medium and invites the sense of touch. I try to convey the feeling of tensile strength within the material and delight in the pattern of the grain, which is always a revelation. All these pieces have come from English trees which is a resource I believe we do not value highly enough, and I see these pieces as a celebration of our natural heritage.
